Adopted this Order on _Friday, July 30, 1993 by the following vote:

SUBJECT: County Budget for the 1993-1994 Fiscal Year and
Phase II Reductions
The Board considered the Budget Report dated July 30, 1993 ,
of the County Administrator for the Phase II budget reductions
and the recommendations presented therein including the adoption
of the final County Budget for the 1993-1994 fiscal year. Phil
Batchelor, County Administrator, commented on the recommendations
contained in the report and the impacts of the Phase II
reductions on certain County services. (A copy of the report is
attached and included as a part of this Board order. )
Following comments of Board members, the Chair declared the
hearing open on the proposed County Budget for the 1993-1994
fiscal year. (A list of the persons who spoke follows at the end
of this Board Order. )
All persons desiring to speak having been heard, the Chair
declared the hearing closed.
At the beginning of the discussion, Supervisor Smith advised
that he would not participate in the discussion or voting on
anything relating to hospital, clinic, and/or physician decisions
because of possible conflict of interest.
During the discussion, there was concurrence among Board
members to first vote on those recommendations and issues that
were not related to the hospital, clinics, or physicians.
The Board then addressed the $3 .3 million County deficit.
It was proposed that the County Administrator be directed to
explore savings that could be realized through elimination of
vacation buy-back, merit/step increases, and sick leave buy-back,
and establishment of a mandatory time off (MTO) program. It was
noted that these issues are subject to meet and confer.
Supervisor McPeak advised that she could support the above
proposal if "establishment of mandatory time off" is replaced by
"and the establishment of other measures. "
The Board then took the following actions as one motion:
1. ADOPTED the recommendations contained in the July 30, 1993 ,
report of the County Administrator with the following modi-
fications:
A. DEFERRED the proposed Phase II cuts for the Antioch
Homeless Shelter ($335, 000) ; Juvenile Hall mental health
services ($130, 000) ; Battered Women's Alternative and
Rape Crisis Center contracts ($158, 000, as contained in
Recommendation No. 10.
- 1 -
• `y
B. APPROVED recommended alternatives under Recommendation
No. 11, except the We Care and YMCA contract which
should be funded from revenues anticipated as a result
of medical care reimbursement for the General Chemical
incident.
C. CLARIFIED that the Center for Human Development contract
is not specific to any one program area, but an across-
the-board cut of all their Health Services Department
contracts.
2. AUTHORIZED the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to sign a letter
to the Governor recommending that the two current vacancies
on the Municipal Courts not be filled pending an evaluation
of their continued need. i
3 . REFERRED to the Finance Committee, the issue of the current
workload imbalance between the Municipal Court Districts and
the feasibility of consolidating both administration and the
benches.
4. DIRECTED the County Administrator and the Personnel Director
to look as fully as possible at self-insurance and a county
run "claims checking" of the dental benefits program,
including any required meet and confer, and to provide the
Board with a report on potential savings.
5. DIRECTED the County Administrator and General Services
Administration to evaluate the feasibility of lighting
retrofit for County building, including initial investment,
payback period and savings and to report back to the Board
of Supervisors.
6. DIRECTED the Social Service Department to track savings from
the General Assistance Work Incentive program and to apply
savings to augment services to help General Assistance
clients to obtain employment.
7. DIRECTED the County Administrator and Probation Department
to work with the schools to develop and implement a program
for probation officers to work directly within the schools.
8. DIRECTED the County Administrator to explore savings that
could be realized through elimination of vacation buy-back,
merit/step increases, and sick leave buy-back and the
establishment of other measures; recognizing, however, that
these issues are subject to meet and confer and, even if
agreement is reached with the employee organizations, it
would not be possible to realize a full year's savings for
them; and REQUESTED the employee organizations to respond as
quickly as possible to these issues in order to minimize
employee reductions.
The vote on this motion was as follows:
Ayes: Supervisors Powers, Smith*, Bishop, McPeak,
Torlakson
*Noes: Supervisor Smith on that part of the motion
relating to libary cuts.

The Chair then called for a vote on any part of the eight
actions above (including the recommendations of the County
Administrator as set forth in the attached report) that related
to the County Hospital, clinics, or physicians. (Supervisor
Smith left the podium, thereby removing himself from the
proceedings. ) The vote was as follows:
Ayes: Supervisors Powers, Bishop, McPeak, Torlakson
Noes: None
Abstain: None
Absent: Supervisor Smith.
Noting that the above action have cut the libraries, Mr.
Batchelor recommended that the Board authorize the County
Librarian to contact all of the cities as to their willingness to
restore or pay for library services and to report to the Board on
August 17, 1993 .
Supervisor Torlakson proposed that school districts also be
contacted to assist with either staffing or funding some part of
library services to accommodate students after school.
The Board then REFERRED to the Finance Committee the issue
of securing funding for library services from the cities and
school districts.
The vote was as follows:
Ayes: Supervisors Powers, Smith, Bishop, McPeak, Torlakson
Noes: None
Absent: None
Abstain: None
The Board then REQUESTED the County Administrator to report
on September 28, 1993, on any additional savings identified
beyond the deficit that would enable restoration of some Public
Health, the two counselor positions, and library services.
The vote was as follows:
Ayes: Supervisors Powers, Smith, Bishop, McPeak, Torlakson
Noes: None
Absent: None
Abstain: None
I hereby certify that this la a troe and correct copy of
an action taken and entered on the minutes of the
